[The following data were published in "The Archer Quarterly"
publication of The Archer Association, PO Box 6233, McLean, VA 22106, edited by George W. Archer, (Simon, Stephen, Stephen, Nathan, James I).
The Archer
Quarterly was published from the Fall of 1982 to the Summer of 1992. It is no longer published.

The material below was taken from disk files used to publish "The Archer
Quarterly." The comments in parenthesis ( ), such as Editor's note, were in the original publication. The material in square brackets
[GWA comment:] was added in June 2000 to update or clarify this material drawing on files I have developed since 1974 based on material submitted
by Patrick's descendants, published and archival sources. Time did not permit recopying all the data from hard copy. Instead this material is
submitted in hopes that Patrick's descendants will share information to supplement and correct what has been published here to support my on-going
project to published "The Descendants of Patrick Archer." This is a multi-generational genealogy beginning with Patrick and following his
descendants down to the present generation. Presently I have material on eleven generations. If you want more on anything you find her or on any
descendant, including non-Archers,contact:George Archer,c/o The Archer Association,PO Box 6233,McLean, VA 22106or email me with your mailing
address and a general outline of your descent from Patrick at:garcher@email.toast.net.

General warning: All of my comments below are based on a 25-year accumulation of ARCHER surname data with an emphasis on the Patrick
descendants of which I am one. Data is never complete. Conclusions based on incomplete data are never definitive; there is always room for error
of interpretation and of fact (clerical errors, lies, poor memory).

Verify the data and conclusions below with your own research, using original, not published sources. Treat even primary sources with
scepticism. Try to get three pieces of evidence for each fact you are trying to prove and compare them to ensure they are not all drawing on
the same (flawed) sources. Good luck with your research. Sometimes that's what is needed.George W. Archer,former editor, "The Archer
Quarterly."]

-=| CONTENTS BY COUNTY|=-

To locate the beginning of a County Section, use a browser Find key and set it to search an exact word, then type the name of the county
in upper case letters.

Each of the County Sections pertaining to one county contain information about Archers in other counties as noted below.

NOBLE (Includes Noble Co. Archers who went to
Cloud and Riley Cos, KS.

Includes Catholic Church Parish records from Belmont Co. that pertained to
the Archers in Noble. Until the St. Mary's church in Fulda, OH, was built in
1853, there was no resident priest in Noble Co. Records were kept in the
parishes whose priests served Noble Co.)

[GWA comment: The State Mental Institute at Athens, OH was where Archers from the southeast Ohio counties
might be found. It was where those with any mental or even financial deficiencies were sent to relieve local charitable
organizations of financial responsibility. This means that those who were quite sane but old or without means
of support could have ended up here. The admission records for the institution used to
be in the Ohio State Historical depository at the University of Ohio at Athens which was one of the regional records depository
for the Ohio Historical Society, the official guardian of Ohio retired records.

I checked the University of Ohio's inventory in May 2000 and found that the Athens facility's admission records were no longer
listed in their holdings. They may have been moved to another depository that took over after the University of Ohio stopped
being a regional depository for Southeast Ohio county-level records.

The McGee Archer could very well be son of Francis Archer (James, Joseph, James, Patrick) and Sophia Archer (James, James, James,
Patrick). McGee was born 5 Sep 1870 in Marion Twp, Noble Co., and there is no record that he married. Simon is not identifiable
without seeing more of his burial record or tombstone.

[GWA comment: Susan Archer is asserted to be the daughter of James (of Patrick) in the "History of Noble Co., Ohio," L.H. Watkins
& Co., 1887, Chicago, p, 443 that again calls the groom "John Tribble." I
have personally seen the original and it is as Fedorchak transcribed it. After the marriage, this couple drops out of sight completely,
and there is no additional information available to support Susan's ancestry. Even Martin B. Archer's book, "The Genealogical History of
the Archer Family" F.J. Heer Co., Columbus, 1919, pp. 8-10 does not mention her as a daughter of James'. ]

Belmont Co, Oh Marriages Book B, p. 48

John Archer to Nancy Garven- May 7, 1812

[GWA comment: Not Patrick's line. John Archer b. 22 Jan 1789, New Jersey. The family was devout
Disciples of Christ and had a very active church in Bellaire. John died in Bellair, OH 29 Nov 1847 and
is buried in the Greenwood Cem, in Belmont Co. This line in Belmont Co., should not be confused with Patrick's line. I'm including it
here just to give warning against striking out on false leads because these Archer's were somewhat near to Patrick's kin.]
